Patient's question:
Over the past few days, I've been experiencing a dull ache in my testicles that radiates to my lower abdomen. I've looked up information online and it seems it could be varicocele. I'd like to ask if this is the case? Also, I feel uncomfortable when I sit for too long, and there's a soreness inside my upper left buttock. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Not ruling out varicocele, have you had a cold recently? My suggestion is to go to the hospital for a check-up, including ultrasound, blood tests, etc., to identify the cause. After confirming the diagnosis, surgery can be considered for treatment. For patients with testicular issues, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
